The problem

Most teams only discover their DDoS posture during an outage.

Playbooks look complete on paper. Mitigation is contracted. Dashboards are green. None of that answers the only question the board will ask after an incident:

Did the controls hold, how fast did we recover, and what failed first?

  1. Unproven mitigation

    You pay for protection you have never exercised under realistic, multi-region load.

  2. No shared evidence

    SecOps, infra, and leadership argue from different dashboards. There is no single test record.

  3. Slow learning

    After an incident the knowledge lives in a ticket thread. It does not become the next test plan.

Platform

Everything you need to run a test and share the result.

  • Start in minutes

    Pick a target, a test type, and a level. Press Run.

  • Multi-step plans

    Chain steps in one test, each with its own type, load, and duration.

  • Scheduled runs

    Repeat a test every hour, day, week, or month.

  • Roles for every seat

    Admins and Attackers run tests. Observers only watch.

  • Reports as PDF

    Export any run as a PDF your team can pass around.

  • Filter by target

    See every run against one system, and nothing else.

Global coverage

Cloud regions on six continents, or your own hardware.

Load arrives the way real traffic does: from cloud regions worldwide, from dedicated generators on your own machines, or both in one run. Each region you pick counts as one geolocation in your package.

Available regions are managed by us. Dedicated generators run as containers on your own machines, are set up with us, and join the same run as the cloud regions.

Outcomes

A test is only useful if the organization can learn from it.

  • Institutional memory

    Past runs stay in the product, not in someone's inbox.

  • Live control

    Watch the test unfold. Stop it when the signal is enough.

  • Comparison, not folklore

    Two scenarios side by side. Numbers, not stories.

  • DRR Score

    A 0 to 100 DDoS Resilience Rating: a briefing score for the room, not a vanity metric.

Built for your industry

For security and infrastructure teams that cannot afford to guess.

Banking. Online and mobile banking are the first thing customers notice in an outage. Prove your mitigation holds before a campaign tests it for you.

Test vectors

Every test type your protection will meet.

82 test types, grouped into 8 families across layers 3, 4, and 7. Every type is listed in the product when you build a test plan.

  • 7L7measured in TPS

    HTTP(S)

    Application requests against your web tier, CDN, and origin.

  • 62L4measured in PPS

    TCP

    Connection and flag handling on your edge and stateful devices.

  • 2L4measured in PPS

    TLS / SSL

    Handshake and negotiation cost on terminating devices.

  • 2L4measured in BPS

    DNS

    Resolver and DNS path behaviour under query volume.

  • 2L7 / L4measured in PPS · TPS

    Slow connections

    Long-lived, low-rate connections that tie up worker slots.

  • 4L4measured in BPS

    UDP

    Bandwidth and stateless filtering under volumetric load.

  • 2L3measured in BPS

    ICMP

    Network-layer rate limiting and edge filtering.

  • 1L4measured in PPS

    MQTT

    Broker behaviour for connected-device platforms.

Levels

Five intensity bands. Shared language for legal and infra.

Every scenario runs at one of five levels, and each level caps the load a test can place on the network. Exact BPS, PPS, and TPS values are shown in the product and shared during onboarding.

Governance

Built so security and legal can sign off.

Ddosphere is not a way to attack anyone. Every test is scoped, permissioned, and reversible.

Authorized use only
Our team registers a target only after ownership and a signed scope are confirmed. There is no self-service target.
Data protection
Encrypted in transit. Run data is kept for 30, 180, or 365 days, depending on your package.
Reversible
The emergency stop is a first-class control. Stop the whole run or a single step, at any second.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Ddosphere?

An enterprise platform for authorized DDoS resilience testing: controlled, distributed load against infrastructure you own, a live console while it runs, and a report you can export as PDF when it ends.

Who may run a test?

Only your organization, and only against targets our team has registered to it. Inside your team, admins and members with the Attacker role can build, schedule, start, and stop tests. Observers can follow runs and read results, but cannot start or change anything.

How is a test performed?

You build a test plan of up to your package's step limit, pick the regions it runs from, and start it now or put it on a schedule. The load comes from cloud machines we launch in those regions for that run and shut down when it ends.

Can a test be shorter than one hour?

Yes. A step can run for as little as 30 seconds. Test time is reserved in whole hours when a run starts, so a 20-minute run uses one hour. If you stop early, any whole hours you did not use go back to your balance.

Which test types are supported?

82 types in eight families: HTTP(S), TCP, TLS/SSL, DNS, slow connections, UDP, ICMP, and MQTT, across layers 3, 4, and 7. You see the full list when you build a test plan.

Can we stop immediately?

Yes. From the console you can stop the whole run, stop only the current step, or move on to the next one. Stopping asks for a single confirmation, so it never happens by accident.

Can tests run on a schedule?

Yes. A test can repeat every set number of hours, days, weeks, or months. Before saving, the schedule is checked against your remaining test time and the length of the test, so it cannot overrun your package.

How is our data handled?

All traffic to the platform is encrypted in transit. The measurements recorded during each run are kept for your package's retention period: 30, 180, or 365 days.

Is this DDoS-for-hire?

No. Targets cannot be added from your side. Our team registers each one to your organization, and a test can only point at a registered target.

Where are you based?

Berlin and Istanbul. Test origins include Frankfurt, Singapore, São Paulo, Tokyo, and more.
